In this paper, for graphs $G$ with diameter 2, we show that $diam(D_2(G))$ can be any integer $t\\geqslant2$. For graphs $G$ with $diam(G)\\geqslant3$, we prove that $\\frac{1}{2}diam(G)\\leqslant diam(D_2(G))$ and this inequality is sharp. Also, for $diam(G)=3$, we prove that $diam(D_2(G))\\leqslant5$ and this inequality is sharp.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-03-12T13:29:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simple graph", "distance graph", "inequality" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
